I get a THOUSAND HUGS! From 10,000 LIGHTNING BUGS!

You know what I hate? Good old song remade into crap. Or crap with parts of old songs.
Two examples are the "You Spin me Round" schitz or "She's Like the Wind" crap.

I know, I agree with that fully. AND covers. Look at how many great songs Marylin Manson ruined. Not like he was any good to begin with. John 5 had talent though. Metallica did a good cover of Turn the Page. And Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal was amazing. Bust most covers just chew up and spit out the original songs...

On the covers topic, as much as I like Apocalyptica's original work, some of their covers (what they became famous for) are just...weird.
Like Master of Puppets.
Eugh...that one's horrible.

Some are awesome (Refuse/Resist is awesome, although it can't really compare to the original).

And then there's the songs that you don't really know are covers until you look it up.
I didn't know The Nurse Who Loved Me was a cover until a few days ago.
Same with Korn's take on Word Up (I can't believe I liked them as much as I used to).
I had no idea that was a cover when I first heard it.

Dream Theater had a pretty amazing cover of To Tame A Land.

But that's not terribly relevant to the thread, so I'll add something to cover my ***.

I heard the song in the thread title. I was on the way to Goodwill to donate a fuckton of clothes, and after asking her to change the radio station to something less obnoxious for the hundredth time, the song came on. It was mighty horrible. Then she started singing along. Doubly horrible.

...Who is 'she'?

Archem... You don't have a woman in your life, do you?! And you didn't tell me?!

Sorry, I thought I mentioned she was my sister.

I'd also like to preemptive strike: NOTHING SEXUAL.
